Betting on Rio: Australia (+28) v. U.S.A.

I hate to bet against the US, but I also want to keep myself entertained. The US is going to win, the question is by how much. The Australians are the first real team the US has faced all summer. They definitely have enough to keep the game close-- an electric backcourt of Patty Mills and Matthew Dellavedova, and a dominant big man in Andrew Bogut.

They don't have enough depth to hang for four quarters, but I don't think their deficit goes beyond 28. Look for the Boomers to cover spread.
